Christine Tail, a 32-year-old member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, was last seen on June 14 in downtown Denver, according to a Missing Indigenous Person Alert issued by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
Tail had just moved from South Dakota and went missing during her first night in Denver, according to the alert. Tail, who has bleached blonde hair with pink tips, was last seen wearing a T-shirt with a pride logo, blue shorts and white sneakers, the alert said. Tail and her girlfriend, Tanya Lance, moved to Denver to “make a better life,” Lance’s mother, Carol Red Bird, told CNN. Red Bird said that both Tail and her daughter used to stay with her often when they lived in South Dakota.
The Denver Police Department said in a statement to CNN that a family member called police again on Saturday morning and an officer was dispatched to take a report, but the missing person alert was not issued until Sunday. Indigenous advocates and Tail’s friends are concerned the delay in issuing the alert could have a negative impact on finding Tail.
